- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC-PC) intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Titan Corporation of San Diego, CA. for acquisition of the production of selected components that comprise the backfit kits for LCACs that underwent the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) prior to development of the C4N Reliability Improvement Program (RIP). NSWC-PC is the Systems Integration Agent (SIA), In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA), Technical Support Activity (TSA) and Software Support Activity in support of the Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Navigation (C4N) program. This requirement is for acquisition of the following components required to improve the reliability of the LCAC C4N systems. The initial acquisition will be for two (2) sets of the components with options for an additional twenty nine (29) sets. The components are: Navigation Processor (one per set), Universal Keyboard (UKB) Pro! cessor (one per set), IP based Common Data Recorder (one per set), Redundant Ethernet Switch Assembly (one per set), 4x4 UKB Keypad (one per set), Operator Display Panel (ODP) (one per set). This acquisition is unsuitable for full and open competition for the following reasons. These components were uniquely designed by Titan Corporation for the LCAC C4N RIP and are not commercially available. Titan Corporation also built the first prototypes for testing. The prototype RIP hardware has undergone environmental qualification testing (EQT) in the 1st Qtr of FY04 and Titan is currently refining the design based on the results of these tests. The items being procured are required to be compatible with existing LCAC equipment. The RIP equipment specified above is 100% compatible with the existing LCAC Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) equipment. Software (embedded operating systems, operational flight software and offline diagnostics) has been developed and tested with th! e new RIP hardware configuration. Maintenance and operator training have also been developed for the LCAC C4N RIP configuration as well. Technical manual updates are being performed to match the new RIP hardware configuration. Therefore it is in the Government?s best interest to purchase the equipment from Titan Corporation that will allow for re-use of the developed software, training and qualified hardware as well as being compatible with other existing C4N equipment. While drawings were developed for the equipment they are insufficiently detailed at this point to support competitive acquisition of the components.
